Scotch-Brite Lint Rollers are great for cleaning pillows

Fall Cleaning Hacks with a Lint Roller

By

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #StickItToLint #CollectiveBias I always have a few Scotch-Brite™ Lint Rollers in my house. I need the rollers to get hair off clothing -- and I don't mean pet hair. It's my hair that's everywhere! I shed a lot. Lint rollers are also great for removing that pesky fuzz that accumulates on clothing in the dryer. I've discovered that lint rollers are handy home cleaning tools -- especially for folks like me who don't like digging out a heavy vacuum cleaner to rid the house of Continue reading...

how to store off-season summer and winter clothing

How to Store Off-Season Clothes

By

Now that the weather is getting cooler and we can put away our shorts and swim suits, the question is, how to store all our off-season summer clothing? For my family, we need to find places other than our bedroom closets to store our off-season clothes -- our closets are way too full! A cool, dry place is the best location to store off-season clothes. Basements and attics aren't ideal for clothing storage, since attics and basements can be hot or damp. I've come up with a list of places throughout the home where off-season clothes can be stored: Where to Store Off-Season Continue reading...

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Weight Watchers, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #WWFoodsAtShopRite  http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV This summer, I shared many great times with my husband and kids.

Back to School Computer Command Center

By

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #BTSwithHP #CollectiveBias Just recently, my family owned just one computer -- a laptop. The laptop was fine for a while, but now that my daughters are in the eighth grade and will soon be high school, one computer isn't enough for our family. I need a computer for my work, my husband needs access to a computer, and my daughters need a computer for their school work. So for this school year, I put together a family computer command center. I am so happy with how our new computer Continue reading...

I am a Decorart blogger and received free product for the completion of this project. All opinions expressed in this post are 100% my own. Today I am participating in the Thrifted Item Makeover with a wonderful group of talented bloggers! In this blog hop, we all picked an old or thrifted item to upcycle into a new look or purpose! For my project, I chose to makeover an old, ugly oak jewelry cabinet that I had hidden in a closet. (For the other projects in this blog hop, check out the links at the end of this post.)

chnage-it-up seasonal summer burlap wreath with sunflowers

Change-It-Up Summer Wreath

By

I adore crafting wreaths. Unfortunately, though, my handmade wreaths are stacking up in my storage area! So, for my summer wreath, I decided to create a non-permanent wreath that can easily be changed out as the seasons change – so there’s no need to create an entirely new wreath when I want a new look! I got the idea for my summer wreath from Celeste of Decor by the Seashore. Using a wreath form and floral wire, she created a wreath that she can modify as the seasons change. I think her idea is genius! (Check out her blog for her tutorial how to create her interchangeable Continue reading...

Chalk-Painted Piano Bench for Front Door Mud Room Area

By

Thanks to Chalkworthy by providing the paint and supplies for this post. All opinions expressed in this post are honest and 100% my own. My family has been needing a place to sit by our home's front door. We have a small mud room area next to our home's front entrance, where we remove our shoes before coming into the house. Not wearing shoes in our house helps keep the carpeting and the house much cleaner! So, I recently chalk painted and stenciled an old piano bench so we have a pretty place to sit! My family and I used to own a piano called an Acrosonic. The piano was great Continue reading...

Cleaning up after my delicious Southwestern rice and bean casserole is easy with Scotch-Brite Scrubbing Dish Cloths

Southwestern Casserole & Easy After-Dinner Clean Up #ScrubCloth

By

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #ScrubCloth #CollectiveBias My family and I adore foods with Southwestern flavors -- especially cilantro! So the other day, I baked my family a tasty Southwestern rice and bean casserole with avocado, beans, cilantro ... and lots of cheese! But there's one problem with this casserole -- it can make for a difficult cleanup after dinner, since the cheese tends to stick to the casserole dish! I often end up soaking the dish and then still have to scrub like mad to get it clean! Thankfully, Continue reading...

Thanks to Thompson’s Waterseal Waterproofing Stain for sponsoring this post by providing the waterproof stain used on my new bench and crate table. All opinions expressed in this post are 100% my own. I've been obsessed with wood crates recently. They are sturdy, inexpensive, and can serve multiple purposes in the home. I started out by using wood crates to create much needed shelving in a coat-closet-turned pantry. I've discovered that by simply screwing a few crates together with some wood screws and a screwdriver, I could put together functional and really sturdy shelving in a Continue reading...
